My daughter has asthma and wants to start playing basketball. Is it a good idea?
No harm in playing basketball. If she starts wheezing during or after playing, she can take Albuteral inhaler 20 minutes prior to playing. Since I don’t have the child’s age, you can ask your pediatrician how many puffs. Usually in a teenager, it is 2 puffs 20 minutes before exercise. READ MORE

Why is my daughter having recurrent abdominal pain?
There are a couple of reasons to find the cause of the pain. Is she constipated? Did she just start Preschool or Daycare? Does the pain wake her up at night? Worms could be one cause of pain.

Do natural remedies help in treating strep throat or do you need medicine?
Most cases of sore throat are due to viruses. I would still take him to see the pediatrician so they can do a quick Strep test or a throat culture. If positive, antibiotics, saline gargles, and throat lozenges might help. READ MORE
Why does my daughter sneeze everyday?
She might have allergies. You say she sneezes more in one room, it might be a dust allergy. Talk to her pediatrician about getting a blood test to check for specific environmental allergies for your area. Good dusting, cleaning, using Baking soda on mattresses for a couple of hours and then vacuuming helps get rid of dust mites. Books collect a lot of dust, too. READ MORE
What medicine can I give my child for headaches?
Discuss with a pediatrician. Do a headache diary for a couple of days. Does it wake him up at night? Does he throw up or is nauseated? Any history of migraine in family? How long does it last? What relieves it? If it's a continuous headache and vomiting, take him to a pediatrician or emergency room. Best to talk to a pediatrician. You can give him Tylenol per his weight, which is on the Tylenol box. READ MORE

You can use calamine lotion which is calming to skin. You should ask your doctor if you can use Benadryl depending on the age of patient or any other medicine to reduce the itching.
